Scope of coverage

The IG is specific to the US Human financial claims process across all healthcare disciplines, though the primary focus is inpatient and outpatient primary care. The content is developed by a mix of payor and EHR representatives.

IG Purpose

One of the challenges in the US Healthcare environment is that clinicians are often unaware of the expectations of payor organizations around the delivery of care, requirements for pre-authorizations and other processes. The result is that payment can be delayed, changes must be made to therapy after initiation and/or additional overhead costs are incurred. Defining a standardized mechanism by which care delivery organizations and providers can query payors to find relevant guidance prior to care delivery will increase efficient delivery of care and corresponding payment.

Proposed IG realm and code

uv/davinci-crd

Maintenance Plan

This specification will be maintained by the FM work group once the Da Vinci project has completed initial development


Short Description

Provides a mechanism for healthcare providers to discover guidelines, pre-authorization requirements and other expectations from payor organizations related to a proposed medication, procedure or other service associated with a patient's insurance coverage. Supports both patient-specific and patient-independent information retrieval.


Long Description

This implementation guide allows practitioners and provider organizations to query payor organizations for any payor-specific expectations related to a proposed course of treatment. Search parameters include drug codes, procedure codes and other service descriptions as well as information about the type of coverage or specific insurance involved. It might also include patient identify information and support provider query of additional patient healthcare information relevant to determining what the payor expectations are. The response to the operation might include guidelines for care, pre-authorization requirements, necessary first line treatments and/or other instructions and recommendations for care delivery related to the proposed course of treatment (and if specified), for the specified patient.


Involved parties

This implementation guide has been developed by U.S. EHR and Payor organizations as part of the Da Vinci project


Expected implementations

In addition to a pilot reference implementation and testing at the Sept. 2018 and Jan. 2019 WGMs, several EHR and Payor organizations are expected to implement this implementation guide prior to the end of 2019

Content sources

Requirements are drawn from payor organizations as part of Da Vinci discussions. Some insights around pre-authorization data elements come from X12

Example Scenarios

  • EHR performs coverage requirements discovery specifying an insurance plan type and a proposed medication. Payor returns a protocol indicating an alternate first-line medication and indicates that pre-authorization is required, providing a questionnaire that must be completed as part of the pre-authorization process
  • Clinician performs coverage requirements discovery for a proposed physio therapy. Payor organization queries the patient record to identify details about the patient's health conditions and recent procedures and identifies that no pre-determination or additional guidance is required.
  • Hospital submits a patient's insurance information at the time of emergency admission. Insurer identifies the associated patient's insurance plan and notifies the hospital that any costs exceeding a base amount must receive prior clearance by the insurer

IG Relationships

This implementation guide will be "aligned" with US Core and will eventually be derived from US Core once that IG has been updated to align with FHIR R4.

Timelines

The intention is to perform initial balloting of the IG in the Sept. 20
